Chicago harbor light

AUTHOR
When I was 13 years old, I received a Pentax SLR camera for my birthday, and my love of photography really began. I spent all summer taking black and white pictures of people, places and things.

Soon after that summer I set up a darkroom under the stairs at my parent's home in. There I was able to bring my art to life. During my high school years, I continued to study photography and experimented with all kinds of lighting techniques, from strobe light in complete darkness to filtered sunshine on the forest. Each and every experiment yielded a very unique image.

I attended Columbia College in Chicago, Illinois, where I studied television production and minored in photography. My photo assignments encouraged me to explore Chicago and its many beautiful characters. Click after click I captured the emotions and beauty of its people, buildings and green space. This is when the artist in me was truly awakened.

Today over 40 years later my love of photography has been reborn. I enjoy every aspect of crafting unique images that stir emotion, tell a story or are just strikingly beautiful.

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I did creating it.
